Honor

“Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse” (Proverbs 28:6).
Have you noticed how obsessed Americans’ are with stuff? I mean we have taken consumerism to a whole new level. We by things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like. We have been conditioned to grave the newest and latest gadgets. We work from sun up to sun down to accumulate stuff that gets shoved into a box within year and stored until we clean out and have a garage sale.
The writer or Proverbs tells us that there is something much more valuable than being rich. Being a person of honor and integrity is much more valuable than the riches of the world. I have a motto I try and live by that goes like this: “You can never go wrong by doing what is right.”
One of the missing ingredients in today’s society is integrity. There was a time when people did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. Today, it is rare to find someone who will do the right thing unless they get something out of it.
Let me challenge you to live by a different standard. Let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no. Walk with honor and integrity; it might not get you to the head of the line here but God will be well pleased and heaven will take note.

I Love You!
